Your English is ...Thanks so much for your comment. Your English is very good. The translation of tierceronne would be very accurate because documentation indicates that Luce was a free women of color. The name Grandmaison is a puzzle. That information is of great help to us.<br /><br />Some researchers believe that Jean Baptist Casimir Menial Pinta took the name of Pinta when he moved to Louisiana with the Pinta family, making an appearance that he was one of the children. Casimir would have been under 5 years old at the time of the move. Another researcher, who has gathered a great deal of documentation, states that he usually called himself Casimir/Casimer Pinta and would use any portion of his name depending on the document. The only document that has been located showing the name of Menial is his marriage certificate which lists himself as Casimer Menial.<br /><br />I have not done any research on Jean Baptiste Menial Pinta, so information I provide is from research done by others. My focus is Jean Baptist Pinta and Luce Grandmaison and their ancestors and descendants. However, he is still of interest to me because the entire Pinta family is a very interesting family.<br /><br />Thanks again for posting a comment and clearing up some of our questions.Edna Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16539257835533531645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932243141418616035.post-47943343703816984832010-12-01T13:34:20.543-08:002010-12-01T13:34:20.543-08:00Hello,
Sorry for my poor English, but I am French...Hello,<br /><br />Sorry for my poor English, but I am French!<br /><br />I am very interesting by your blog about Pinta family, because I research descendants of Marie Jeanne Ferté, mother of Jean Baptiste Pinta. Ferté and Pinta are families of important farmers in Picardy (Valois area, near Soissons and Compiègne, 120 km North-East from Paris).<br /><br />Baptismal certificate of “Luce Henriette Tieraronne/Tieruranne” : in my opinion, we have to read « Luce Henriette, tierceronne…”. A “tierceronne” is a crossbred girl. So, Tieraronne/Tieruranne is not her last name. I think (without proof) we can assume that Luce Henriette, daughter of Modeste Rasteau, is Luce Henriette Grandmaison. But I don’t know where this name come from!<br /><br />Do you know why, in Rasteau genealogy, the son of Modeste Rasteau and Casimir Menial is named Jean Baptiste Casimir Menial Pinta? And his children, only: Pinta, and not Menial? For me, he had no reason to add Pinta to his name?M de Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12391130153543617036noreply@blogger.com
